History

The Internet Society of New Zealand was originally formed in 1995 in order to take responsibility for the .nz ccTLD.

At the annual meeting on 2008-08-04 InternetNZ Peter Dengate Thrush was made an InternetNZ Fellow because of his record of contribution to Internet policy issues in New Zealand and internationally.

Relationship with Internet Society

Despite sharing many aims with the Internet Society, InternetNZ has never been a chapter of that organisation. In April 2008 the organisation formally changed their official name to "Internet New Zealand Inc." to recognise common usage and to specifically reflect these differences. [cite web
